Imagine not naming this thread HOT TAKE SZN you had one job smh
All hot takes must be said with the utmost confidence, no if statements and they better be actually hot 😤 Takes like Beniers will win the Calder don’t count (he’s my pick, but he’s a top 3 candidate right now any way you slice it so not hot)
- The Sens are making the playoffs and the Bruins are not
- VGK will win the President’s trophy and then get goalied in the first round (by one of Saros, Demko, Oettinger, or Hellebuyck)
- Patrick Kane will be traded (with retained salary) to the Florida Panthers with Samoskevich and a conditional 2027 1st going the other way
- Chicago will finish dead last (not that hot), but then not win either lottery (kind of hot)
- Montreal will pick Dvorsky next year (meaning they’ll be very bad but not quite top 3 bad)
- Matt Murray will win more games in the month of October than he did all of last season, but get injured before the 2023 calendar year
- The Washington Capitals will start the season with the most consecutive wins
Florida misses the playoffs after Ekblad gets injured and their blue line depth gets exposed giving Zito an excuse to spend more picks
Kane gets traded to the Wild in a huge package surrounding Wallstedt
Bedard gets drafted by Arizona but pulls a Lindros
Carey Price makes a return out of no where towards the end of the season
Philly does a Buffalo. Starts first in their Division and play stupid well till early Dec then fall straight to last and never recover. And then like Det despite getting last in the league they get the 4OA pick
Toews gets traded to...... Dallas via 3 way trade
Matthews gets robbed of 70 goals by 1 because of a bull**** call
Jack Campbell wasnt the answer and Oilers fans turn on Holland for not getting Kuemper again
And not a hot take but an all signs pointing to it
Tavares rebounds
